SBPIM’s SAKHI initiative empowers local women entrepreneurs in Pune & PCMC, hence advancing the government's aim of "VOCAL FOR LOCAL." The institute collaborates with local small-scale businesses & gives them preference for marketing & sales opportunities. Recently, the institute launched a Diwali Mandi, where 30+ female entrepreneurs displayed handmade/eco-friendly products to generate significant revenue. Being a Business school, SBPIM provides training to these projects to improve their services & benefit the society as a whole. Through this support and encouragement, the institute aims to strengthen the women entrepreneur community & foster strong professional and ethical relationships. Our Seva Sahayog collaboration has created a positive societal impact & helped develop strong connections with these entrepreneurs.
Women's participation in the business environment fosters strong-ethics & connections amongst underrepresented groups, leading to ethical business expansion. Our effort to promote women entrepreneurship through MOUs & partnerships with self-help-groups & small sized women-led-businesses helps showcase their products on various platforms. These activities motivate and inspire female students, who make up a significant portion of the enrolment. SBPIM purchases their products as gifts for guests on different occasions, demonstrating our commitment to promoting sustainability and environmental awareness.
Under MOU of CII Yi G20, women entrepreneurs shared experiences with students. The institute’s effort to this noble cause is well supported by students to promote our Diwali Mandi. We help & market our partner Seva Sahayog at many corporate events.
SBPIM’s strong belief of values and ethics percolate to students by helping the needy & handholding to scale up these businesses. Such associations create positive feelings among female students. An ED Cell boot camp in association with Maharashtra Centre for Entrepreneurship Development gets good response from female students. Events like Diwali Mandi have high participation from female students showing interest in entrepreneurial learnings. Students get the courage to launch their own business in the coming years. Hand-holding sessions by our Alumni turned Entrepreneur; help guide & encourage students. Our CII-Yuva events empower women entrepreneurs.
